Kindle for iPad – I believe the new Kindles can read PDF files but I’m not convinced this app can read epub or PDF files that I download. I have not tried it with a mobi or prc file as I haven’t created one recently.

Update June 2011 – As FLAG now has the ability to convert Fanfiction.net but now also Twilighted.net stories I’ve put it as the converter of choice. I’ve included the Fanfiction Downloader Appspot below for completeness but it requires your Gmail account.

how to convert stories to epub files for reading

I prefer using this FLAG webpage to create the epub files as opposed to the Fanfiction Downloader Appspot I mention above. It doesn’t require your Gmail account and is very fast. FLAG does not NOW works for twilighted.net!

Convert the fanfic into an epub file using the Fanfiction Downloader Appspot either on your computer or on your iPad. The epub files are stored on the Fanfiction Downloader webpage so if you convert the files on a computer you’ll still need to use Stanza to download them onto your iPad.

Now Click on Fanfiction Downloader Appspotas one of your Book Sources and the webpage should open.

Login using your Gmail account username and password.

To convert a new story paste the URL of the first chapter of the fanfic you want and an epub file will be created.

You will then be able to click on “previously downloaded fanfics.”

Click on the title you want to download onto your device and then Stanza will prompt you to click the red Download button. The file should show up in Stanza – you’re off to read!

Note – You can use your computer to create the epub files and have them stored on the Fanfiction Downloader Appspot website for you to later download in Stanza on your iPad. Go to http://fanfictionloader.appspot.com/ and do steps 7 and 8 above.
